2012

Crafting the Conversation 2012 marked ten full years of BCT Management, Inc.’s leadership in operating the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. In addition, December brought the 90th anniversary of former Indiana Theater’s existence as a gathering place in downtown Bloomington. It was a time for reflecting on how far we’ve come, building for the future, and celebrating the connections we’ve made along the way. Beginning in 1922, the history of our community theater is an inspiring tale of individual vision, cooperative struggle, and ongoing communication between Bloomington and rest of the world.

Facilitating that dialogue is at core of our mission. Our mission is accomplished in thousands of day-to-day actions. As an organization, 2012 brought strong focus on aligning every moment and task with our greater goals. Staff re-organization that began in January reminded us of the concept of the “lean, mean, fighting machine.” In our efforts to provide patrons and promoter partners the best possible facility and service at the least expense, we pared down overhead and streamlined technology in a variety of areas. However, our goals are not about combat, but conversation. Over the course of these twelve months, I believe we’ve transformed to a “lean, green, accessible machine,” which functions smoothly for the benefit of the whole community. We’re so grateful for the dedication and support of all our partners. The strong numbers represented in these pages reflect more than ten years of investment from individuals, businesses, organizations and public entities. Together, we’ve built a place for all, where sharing our stories is at the heart of the matter.

Thank you for your part in this effort. We look forward to many decades to come.

Danielle McClellandExecutive DirectorBuskirk-Chumley Theater

Merely stewards Walking from my office on campus to my home on the square at the end of the day, winding and cutting through the streets and alleys on the near east side, my senses are overwhelmed with reminders of everything I love about Bloomington. The smells of curry wafting across 4th street, the bustle of backpack-toting students leaving campus, the afternoon square’s din of traffic, all signaling comfortable routine-- my favorite town is in check.

Though I have rounded the corner from Washington onto Kirkwood hundreds of times, I still get excited by the appearance of the Buskirk-Chumley marquee looming large above the sidewalk. This is my version of “stopping to smell the roses”—my instant reminder of not only the existence of the theater, but also what the theater represents about life and culture in Bloomington.

This year was, indeed, a time to stop and smell the roses. We celebrated the 90th anniversary of the theater with memories of movies, music, live theater, and more. At the same time, we, as a community, continued to create, present, and enjoy the best in local, national, and world-class entertainment and culture. We are all merely stewards of the theater-- this great community resource-- for a short time. Thanks for sharing your support and enjoying the Buskirk-Chumley with us. May her history be as rich for the next 90 years.

the BIG StArt Live by RequestJohn Mellencamp and his full touring band perfromed at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre on November 11, 2004 for a show broadcast live on the A&E television network.

Following months of negotiations about possible performance dates, whether tickets would be available to the general public and many other details directly related to booking performances, the show enjoyed great success and audience response. It quickly became clear that a performing arts series with major label artists would have legs at the fledgling performing arts venue.

Now in its 9th season, the BCT Presents series is sought after by both artists and audience, who consistently report having a great concert experience in the intimate atmosphere.

With a lot of gumption, luck and experience negotiating with artist representatives, the BCT Presents series will continue to turn heads as we start booking our 10th season.

“Buskirk-Chumley Theater is a Bloomington treasure. The history, acoustics, volunteers, staff and performers all contribute to Buskirk-Chumley Theater being one of our favorite venues in the world.” —Charlie & Linda Sinex

“The BCT has a way of planning these must-attend events. There’s a buzz around the theater that draws you in.

I feel so lucky to have a theater in my backyard that hosts events as diverse as Ani DiFranco in concert and the Chef’s Challenge and the Banff Film Festival. It’s like one-stop-shopping for high-quality entertainment of all sorts!

The BCT staff and volunteers are some of the most friendly andwelcoming people in Bloomington. Attending an event at the

theater is made that much more incredible because we’re greeted with a smile or a hug by everyone in a name tag.” —Annie Corrigan & Sarah Gordon

Our address book grows steadily each year. The new OvationTix ticketing system in the BCT Box office allows us to conduct quicker transactions, receive donations for multiple organizations, add family members to accounts, process gift cards and credits. The resulting patron experience is more personal and convenient than ever before. The security of these details are our number one concern; we are fully compliant with internet security standards and operate behind a sophisticated firewall.

The Buskirk-Chumley Theater is owned by the City of Bloomington and operated by

BCT management, inc., a private non-profit organization. The mission of BCT management,

inc. is to develop the Buskirk-Chumley Theater as a high quality and widely accessible community resource and performance venue, operated in a

fiscally responsible manner. support from the City of Bloomington, indiana university, the indiana arts Commission, our many corporate sponsors

and community donors helps maintain this historic community resource and bring a wide diversity of

programming to the stage each year.

"The new BCT Box Office ticketing system is easy to use, great for guest tracking and, as usual, supported by a wonderfully efficient staff!"—Steve SwihartExecutive Director Bloomington Independant Restaurant Association “The BCT’s box office over the

past year has vastly improved with their renovated space and especially their new software system .  The ease of doing business and making transactions, both for our patrons, and for us as clients has enhanced tenfold .”—Chad Rabinovitz Artistic DirectorBloomington Playwrights Project

The BCT Box Office has undergone multiple transformations over the past few years. Not only did the new physical renovation of the space in 2011 add new opportunities, in 2012 new staffing, a new ticketing system and the elimintation of patron fees invigorated our service. In July 2012 the OvationTix ticketing system was broken in. The system out-performed the previous system almost immediately. Nicole O’Neal joined the BCT Box Office staff in July 2012 and has proven to be an excellent addition to the existing team.

Behind The CurTainthe BCt Box office can only operate as Bloomington’s purveyor of community tickets through the quality of its staff. nicole o’neal and Caitlyn Kuhs, the assistant Box office Managers, lead a team of 6 undergraduate box office associates to deliver first class service on a first name basis. they ensure the box office staff can provide you with the best seats, the best advice and the best directions.
